Relationships on a Spiritual Level ​

by Pedro Pennacchioni

​On a spiritual level, everything happens for a reason. Not only the things we experience every day are intended to teach you lessons but the people you interact with as well. Maybe a certain person shows up in your life to teach you a brief lesson and the Relationships on a spiritual level: How they affect and define your life.​Have you ever wondered how the relationships that you maintain with the people in your life affect you spiritually? And by relationships I mean not only romantic relationships but all kinds of human interactions: Friends, family, acquaintances and so on. Have you ever felt that some people are simply meant to be by your side while other people that are right by your side feel wrong and you think that you would be better off without them?

Destiny and Relationships

Others will continue with you for a long time providing you with a healthy relationship. Others still will be by your side but you will always feel bad around them. On a spiritual level, human interactions are the most powerful tool for evolution and learning. The thing is every human interaction is meant to teach you something, the positive and the negative alike. And sometimes you are meant to teach something to someone you interact with (And learn something in the process as well). On the other hand, a negative relationship, full of arguments and bad words is meant to teach you behaviors(and people) you should avoid.

Relationships: The Positive and the Negative​

While you can learn something from every relationship in your life, the positive will feel like you are evolving together. Positive people in your life will always want to see you evolve. They will care for you, teach you, listen to your problems and will definitely point out the thing you are doing wrong. The people that care about you the most will be the ones who will sometimes be harsh with you because they want to see you well. On the other hand, a negative person will always envy you, pretend to be your friend while talking bad things about you behind your back, will always value material things over spiritual ones and will make a point to brag about their material conquests so they can feel superior. Usually, you will feel bad around these types of people. Even if they are nice to you deep down you will feel that you don’t really want to be around them.​

Dealing with Relationships

Learning to identify which relationships are good for you and which are toxic might be difficult at first, still, It’s a very important part in your spiritual evolution. Once you identify a person that you can learn from or teach, you should value that person for it’s most likely in your life for a reason. It’s important to make a distinction here. Postive people are not necessarily nice people and nice people are not necessarily positive. In that sense, you might like a person a lot and still find that your relationship is not being very productive. And you might have a person in your life that you’re not really fond of but still, you feel you can learn a lot from him or her.Usually identifying a negative person is easier than identifying a positive one. You will feel stalled. Like you that person isn’t really adding anything to your overall knowledge and evolution. Maybe you’ll notice some behaviors you don’t really agree with or maybe that person is being rude and disrespectful to you. You might or might not like this particular individual but for the sake of evolution, it’s better to take a step back. Bottom line is valued those who can add something to your life. And I'm talking about knowledge, not material things. As for those that don’t you’re better off without them.

The Flow of Destiny

Don’t feel bad for those people that are no longer in your life. As I wrote in the beginning of this article every human relationship is meant to teach you something. And as far as learning goes, people come and go also. As human beings, we tend to attach ourselves to people and things which we like. We fear the new and have a hard time exiting our comfort zone. Still, as life progresses you will lose contact with people you like and will meet new ones. Don’t mourn people that are gone, but rather be thankful for your shared experiences(Both good and bad) meditate on the lessons you learned and move on. It’s the way destiny flows and how it brings you. new experiences and opportunities for enlightenment It’s the way life works: always moving forward. If you don’t move forward with life you will most likely be stalled in life.
